Over the last month I became a victim of a clever scam while out shopping. Simply going out to get supplies has turned out to be quite traumatic. Don't be naive enough to think it couldn't happen to you or your friends.

Here's how the scam works:

Coming out of B&Q you head for your car and start packing the things away in the boot. Two very hot 20-21 year-old girls come over to your car and both start washing your windscreen with a cloth and screen wash. Their breasts are almost falling out of their skimpy T-shirts and it is impossible not to look.

When you thank them and offer to pay them, they say 'No' and instead ask you for a ride to the town centre. You agree and they get in the backseat. On the way, they start undressing. Then one of them climbs over into the front seat and starts crawling all over you, while the other one steals your wallet.

I had my wallet stolen on December 4th, 9th, 10th, twice on the 15th, 17th, 20th, 24th and 29th. Also on January 1st, 4th, twice on the 8th, three times last Saturday and very likely again this weekend.
